Confrontation with Center camp staff is not necessary for my idea, doing this in Center Camp is an integral part of the idea. Afterall, it's called Free Iced Coffee and Tea in Center Camp Camp! There are plenty of places to go for free coffee and tea already. I have no interest in being another neig...

As I make plans for 2008, I thought I’d discuss my plans and see what kind of feedback I get. It seems that this subject generates strong feelings from a lot of people. In 2001, I had a few extra suitcases of water at the end of the week, and rather than taking them home I threw a handful of teaba...

Dear Pastie Dan, After spending quite a bit of time sitting across from you in 2006, I was a little disappointed this year. While I do appreciate the profesional quality of this year's pasties, I was a big fan of the homemade edible pasties. I also missed the calls of "Edible Pasties...Get your edib...

For the last five years I've been bringing out a few potted cactus and have given away around 100 cuttings. I kept thinking about having Camp Cactus and bringing out a lot more of my cacti but have been limited by my vehicle size. But now I have a motorhome! So Camp Cactus will come to fruition this...

I wastold by the owner that the back tires are a bit cracked from the sun -so I'll make sure I get them checked out before the trip. There are four rear tires so I'll look into the split rim thing too. Thanks

This is my first time at Burning Man and I am a little nervous about the whole feminine hygiene issue. Can anyone offer advice on how to keep that special place from getting so unhappy with the dirt and the dust and the non-showering?

Its a 1981 Leisure Craft. Heh - I guess it goes to show how non-motorhomey I am that I didn't even think about how I won't have to buy a bunch of gallon water jugs. Instead I just thought about how there will be so much more room for the water jugs! Thanks for the ideas so far!

This will be my eighth year at Burning Man but my first year bringing a motorhome. I'm buying an older (1981) 21' motorhome and will have it for about a month before I head out to the desert. Of course I'll search through the forums but does anyone have any motorhome specific tips and tricks? Since ...

A friend of mine was dosed last year with some type of psychedelic. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough drug experience to have identified it.

My first year headed out to BM we missed the final turn off to Gerlach. We ended up at that gas station (a Texaco?) with the whole cafe/bar thing attached at like ten at night asking for directions. The woman at the counter sent us back on our way and very seriously said "WATCH OUT FOR THE COWS!" as...

I'm sure everyone has already seen this but if not:

I'm thinking pre event 2004?

I'll bring the iced sun tea and a rolled up piece of cardboard!

Great - left wrist go, right wrist no. Now I have another thing to try to remember. I spend enough time trying to remember if the pierced left ear or pierced right ear means a guy is gay. What if everyone who is 'looking' just walked around wearing condoms? It would work for men and women and it wou...

I was wondering last night if the LEO's were getting as incensed about the potential antibiotic camp as they must be about this potential laudanum camp. . .

I believe that Solaritea was making a whimsical suggestion that was mostly intended to be a topic for discussion instead of a serious proposal. Well maybe. or maybe I just wanted some free laudanum. Now laudanum isn't too popular - too much prep work. But growing your own opium has become more popu...

hhmmm. OK, while I've haven't been going to bm for "XX" years like some people, I've been going long enough that I remember when there was far less law enforcement. Last year it seemed to me that there was a plethora of absinthe bars and that many were taking no precautions to hide or disguise thems...

All right! Please, no one bring any absinthe or laudanum! I didn't realize how terribly this idea would impact the event! I just wonder if there's time to apply for a State of Nevada liquor license so I can serve a proper drug while remaining within the confines of the law. I'll cancel the kava too ...

Well, let me point the LEO's in the right direction - ebay is now the official 'opium gray market for the masses'. It's always best to go after the suppliers first. And really, if the cops wanted to seriously go after online opiate users- wouldn't it be a good idea to focus on the websites that part...

I was just thinking of the classics, but I'm willing to try something new. And I do like puddin'. But I don't know. Those other ideas seem OK but with laudanum you get that synergistic (deadly?) rush of alcohol as well as the potential for a whole bar theme which is always so popular. I got to go to...

As posted by myself just after last year's burn - "Absinthe bars have been done to death - I think it's time to bring out the Laudanum bars. Who's with me on this one? Perhaps it would have to be discreet to avoid the law enforcement though. I for one will be sure to include a bottle or two of lauda...

I thought private flights don't count for mile-high qualification? But I think the stewardess is a great idea. It reminds me of this movie I saw once . . . Well, not really a movie. There was no acting. Not much dialogue either. Great soundtrack though.

So, not to be too anxious but I haven't gotten that PM. So to make it more tempting - I can now claim to be bringing the perfect combo of one gun guy and one dope guy. Hey - if we need to we can secede and start our own guns and dope camp and bring emu's into the legislature! Plans for this year inc...

From the looks of the website this may be too late - but you may want to rethink the whole ostrich thing. Have you ever been around an ostrich? They're not the friendliest of creatures and they're damn scary when they charge. Although the built in drum set in their chest is pretty cool and they are ...

More of a subversive idea to have some fun. There's plenty of people giving out coffee and tea from their camps - I like the idea of either taking it on the road or taking it to center camp.

As for theme camps - I'm planning a laudanum and san pedro bar . . .

Absinthe bars have been done to death - I think it's time to bring out the Laudanum bars. Who's with me on this one? Perhaps it would have to be discreet to avoid the law enforcement though. I for one will be sure to include a bottle or two of laudanum for the folks. It's time to once again make opi...

I was homeless this year by choice - I got there Friday evening and figured I wasn't going to be around ong enough to set up a tent. I never did sleep in center camp though - I got a few z's down at Nap Camp just past the Space Cowboys. The way they dealt with sleepers was to wrap them up in warm, f...

One of the best times I had in 2003 was using the extra 15 gallons of water I had left over to make a bunch of iced sun tea and passing it out in the cafe. What was really great was walking up and down the long lines and having people drop out of line as I filled up there water bottles with refreshi...

Did you meet her or did you just see her ride by in Critical Tits?

I met the old phreak Cap'n Crunch at Burning Man a couple years back.

And I see Dennis Peron (of prop 215 in CA) is at the burn nearly every year.

Not that the two of them are all that famous but they're still good people. . .

Well I'll bring it along for sure then. I've got roughly five pounds of the micronized powder that you can just add water and drink and about 25 or 50 pounds of a more potent but more difficult to use powder. I'll at least bring along the 5 lbs. and will see what I can do about pre-preparing the les...
